We were able to see my son in his 5th grade play yesterday morning.
We attended his crossing over ceremony last night where he officially crossed over to Boy Scouts.
He received all his pins he had earned and a trophy for 1st place in Pinewood Derby.
He also received a very special Arrow of Light award plaque that he earned.
This morning it was off to the school for his 5th grade award ceremony. He received a Reading Achievement Certificate and an A-B Honor Roll Ribbon. Insert very proud Momma here!
We came home to relax and suddenly it hit me that Christian should be graduating Kindergarten. I should have a ton of pics of my littlest one in his cap and gown marching along the stage holding his big boy diploma. I'm not sure what made me think of that but the moment of proud Momma had passed and was replaced by sad Momma.
Sad Momma should be celebrating the accomplishments of my oldest which I guess would be in her 2nd year of college.
Sad Momma should be congratulating my Bailey on completing 10th grade and looking forward to all the fun of a high school Junior.
And of course, my little Kindergarten graduate.
These are the moments when I'm reminded my grief will last a lifetime. These are the moments that haunt me.
how sweet I love the picture! I have to say I can see why it hurts. I did a post about my teenage son and sadness swept over me as I realized all the moments I would miss with Jonathan. Your son is a handsome boy!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I missed this Tesha!! Yes all those lost memories is what keeps our grief alive over the years. I am lucky to be able to experience this life with one child, and he is truly awesome. Thank you!!
DeleteIt's a lifetime, no one will ever have to explain that to us. xo xo
